cultural difference!

I know there are so many cultural differences
between japan and other countries
but i cant think of any unusual culture...

maybe going in houses with their shoes on, or walking outside barehood
would be one of the cultural differences that made me surprised
when i was in australia.

at first, i thought that walking in the house with my shoes on is dirty
but once i got used to it, i loved that custum

i often went out with no shoes on which japanese people would never do in japan.
and entering houses without taking shoes off was so comfortable lol


so when i got home in japan after my exchange program first
i went in my house with my shoes on !
my family was so surprised and said
you are not japanese! lol

i felt that australian culture was like more rougher than japanese culture.
i love it better though. :D

  2. I don't like go into house with my shoes on and walk outside with no shoes. I guess those are the only western custom I could not get used to in the US.

  3. Actually, I like taping my shoes off at the entrance. I like Japanese style better. I LOVE to wear high heels, but I also love the moment that I take them off at the end of the day. Taking my high heels off means I can finally relax and chill in my room:)
